The youngest gymnasts, born in 2016/2015 and 2014/2013, started in the morning. Leonie Dziamski (2015) performed the highest permitted exercise on all four apparatus. In the strongest age group with 54 starters, she achieved a strong 11th place and only narrowly missed out on qualifying place by 0.05 points.

Sophie Nietzsche (2014) and Lena Gönnersdorf (2013) started in the next oldest year. Lena performed a higher exercise on two apparatuses than at the last competition and the beam also worked better on both than in training. In the end, Sophie and Lena shared 27th place in a strong field of 51 gymnasts.

In the afternoon the older gymnasts started. In the 2012/2011 class, 30 gymnasts competed for qualification.

Sara Policastro (2011) showed solid performances on floor and vault.

She performed well and placed 23rd. Eva Marie Hahn (2012) performed her exercises without any major mistakes and reached 17th place.

In the end it was 16th place for her. Samira Örs (2010) performed her exercises with only minor insecurities and placed 12th. She can look forward to a replacement spot in the association group. Soraya Lucas (2010) narrowly missed the podium and took fourth place after a strong competition. She achieved the best score in her year on beam and can also be happy about her qualification.
